Krypto: Wassenaar verschärft in AU-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- ersten Blick auf die gerade veröffentlichten Exportlisten, dass von den kontroll/verschärfungen vor allem PGP betroffen sei. Analyse folgt am Abend. To: crypto@efa.org.au From: gtaylor@efa.org.au (Greg Taylor) Subject: New Australian crypto export controls Forwarded by: crypto@efa.org.au Send reply to: crypto@efa.org.au The amended Australian Defence and Strategic Goods List was released today, in the form of multiple linked PDF documents. The files pertinent to crypto are: Category 5, Part 2: http://www.dao.defence.gov.au/exportcontrols/cat_5.pdf Statements of Understanding (needed for General Software Note): http://www.dao.defence.gov.au/exportcontrols/soa.pdf Definitions (needed for definition of "in the public domain"): http://www.dao.defence.gov.au/exportcontrols/definits.pdf It seems that Australia has gone it alone again and modified the Wassenaar lists in relation to public domain software, so that it is more restrictive than the Wassenaar version. Wassenaar allowed an exemption for crypto software that is "in the public domain". Australia has disallowed that exemption. This affects PGP in particular. The changes in relation to export of mass market software appear to be the same as in the Wassenaar lists, but are subject to a one-time review by the Department of Defence. The attached extracts refer to the public domain issue. Greg ------------------------------------------ Compare the following: (See http://www.efa.org.au/Issues/Crypto/wass98.html) [from Wassenaar Lists, December 1998] ================================================== ======================== General Software Note The Lists do not control "software" which is either: 1. Generally available to the public by being: a. Sold from stock at retail selling points without restriction, by means of: 1. Over-the-counter transactions; 2. Mail order transactions; or 3. Telephone call transactions; and b. Designed for installation by the user without further substantial support by the supplier; or N.B. Entry 1 of the General Software Note does not release "software" controlled by Category 5 - Part 2. 2. "In the public domain". "In the public domain" means "technology" or "software" which has been made available without restrictions upon its further dissemination. N.B. Copyright restrictions do not remove "technology" or "software" from being "in the public domain". ================================================== ======================= Now here is the Australian version: From: http://www.dao.defence.gov.au/exportcontrols/soa.pdf ================================================== ======================= GENERAL SOFTWARE NOTE (GSN) (This note overrides any control within section D of Categories 0 to 9.) With the exception of Category 5, Part 2 (Information Security) Categories 0 to 9 of this list do not control "software" which is either: a. Generally available to the public by being: 1. Sold from stock at retail selling points, without restriction, by means of: a. Over-the- counter transactions; b. Mail order transactions; or c. Telephone order transactions; and 2. Designed for installation by the user without further substantial support by the supplier; or b. "In the public domain". [from the Definitions document] "In the public domain" (GTN NTN GSN), as it applies herein, means "technology" or "software" which has been made available without restrictions upon its further dissemination (copyright restrictions do not remove "technology" or "software" from being "in the public domain"). ================================================== ========================= -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1999-06-15 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
